Celebrating Our MYP Year 5 (Grade 10) Personal Project Expo!

MYP Expo Poster by Oenone, Gr10

AISL MYP Year 5 (Grade 10) students celebrated their independent learning in the Personal Project Expo, held this past Tuesday and Wednesday in the Palm Pavilion. The Personal Project, begun at the start of the school year, gives students the opportunity to delve into a passionate area of interest and to create a product of their own design, assessed according to a rubric they create. Students spent approximately 25 hours on their projects and the accompanying reports, which were completed almost entirely on their own (as opposed to being worked on during classes). Through this process, students developed important ATL (Approaches to Learning) skills including inquiry, research, interviewing, speaking, and presenting. Please join us in congratulating our MYP 5 (Grade 10) students on this fantastic accomplishment!
